Häagen-Dazs And Me

Häagen-Dazs.

That was all I could remember of my first dreamy experience with Häagen-Dazs.

I could not even remember the name of the ice cream flavour I had just now. Lucky I took a picture of it to remind me. All I could think of was "Häagen-Dazs. Häagen-Dazs. Häagen-Dazs." as this exhilerating, silky caramel-flavoured frozen delight washed down my tongue and throat. I had conjured up this image of an old man, searching the desert for water, just as if I had been searching for the perfect ice cream and found it. The Häagen-Dazs effect has just hit me.

I seem to remember there were also bits and pieces of nuts as I dug into my small cup although like the flavour name, this particular nut is lost in my mind.

I just knew. I had to have another one.

Häagen-Dazs is a brand of ice cream established in 1961. Contrary to what I thought were German origins, Häagen-Dazs was actually established by Jewish-Polish immigrants who used foreign branding making the name Scandinavian in American eyes. (Wikipedia)

Disclaimer: Häagen-Dazs did not pay me for this post. Although I wouldn't mind if they sent me a pint bucket of ice cream. Any ice cream flavour will do. :-) Häagen-Dazs, are you there? Can you hear me?

"Abundance" According To Hubby

When they say that your partner gives you meaning, I'm pretty sure they were talking about my hubby right there with the best of them. He always cracks me up whenever we have some debates around the house with regards some English words, and then he decides to put his little spin on them.

In today's post, I just wanted to share this play on words hubby did a few weeks ago.

I was reading a forecast of the new year's horoscopes when I mentioned a word that my eldest didn't fully understand.

Eldest: "What is abundance, ma?"

Daddy: Abundance is a dance performed when you are hungry and craving for bread. A-bun-dance. Also known as "sayaw ng tinapay" in Tagalog, which literally translates into "dance for bread".
